The Bowie Lady Rabbits had a tough final week of district play last week with close losses to Vernon and Henrietta.
The Lady Rabbits lost 48-40 against the Lady Lions and 53-44 against the Lady Cats.
Bowie came into last week 2-2, but most recently suffered two losses against Holliday and City View. The Lady Rabbits were hoping they could get back on track after winning the first two games of district.
Bowie started the game against Vernon on a great note, going up 17-11 and finishing the quarter by executing smart offense against the Lady Lions press. Vernon upped the pressure in the second quarter and the Lady Rabbits only scored at the end of the quarter to take the narrow lead 24-22 into halftime.
The third quarter saw the Lady Lions start off hot to grab the lead and play hustle defense against a Bowie team that struggled to execute when it broke Vernon’s full-court press. Turnovers or bad passes made open opportunities slip through the cracks over and over as the Lady Rabbits scored only four points in the quarter.
The Lady Lions led 39-28 heading into the final period.
Bowie’s offense picked up and cut the lead to as low as five points early in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the Lady Rabbits could not get any closer as Vernon closed out the game well with good ball control and defense.
Bowie lost 48-40.
The Lady Rabbits tried to bounce back on Friday after missing a day of practice due to the snow as they traveled to Henrietta.
The game started well as both teams were firing on all cylinders offensively as the score was tied at 16-16 after the first quarter.
Unfortunately, Bowie’s offense struggled in the second and third quarters.
The Lady Rabbits were held to three points in the second period and trailed 34-19 at halftime since the Lady Cats offense did not slow down.
The third quarter saw Henrietta grow its lead, outscoring Bowie 13-8 as it led 47-27.
The Lady Rabbits battled back in the fourth quarter. The team made three 3-pointers and scored a team high 17 points in the quarter.
Unfortunately, despite the defense holding the Lady Cats to only six points, it was not enough to make up the 20 point hole.
Henrietta won 53-44.
